## Resource

FIFA’s introducing mandatory three-minute hydration breaks in every World Cup match, regardless of weather, to combat heat-related risks for players. While the move aims to protect athletes from dangerous overheating, it’s sparking debate—coaches question its necessity in mild conditions, while scientists argue the breaks are too short to be effective, suggesting five to six minutes would make a real difference. As global temperatures rise, this rule underscores how climate change is reshaping sports, forcing organizers to prioritize player safety and adapt to increasingly extreme environments.
